Psalm 91

the king version

   He who[1] dwells[2] in the secret place of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in Him will I trust.”

3 Surely He shall deliver you
from the snare of the fowler[3]
and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings shall you trust;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of[4] the terror by night,
nor of the arrow that flies[5] by day,
6 nor of the pestilence that walks[6] in darkness,
nor of the destruction that wastes[7] at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at your side,
and ten thousand at your right hand,
but it shall not come near[8] you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you behold
and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
even the Most High, your habitation,
10 there shall be[9] no evil to befall you,
neither shall any plague come near[10] your dwelling.
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you
to keep you in all your ways.
12 They shall bear you up in their hands,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;
the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under your[11]feet.

14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him,
and show[12] him My salvation.” [KING]

The Curse of the Thief

I n the middle of audit week, our company accountants decided not to show up. As it turned out, they embezzled some money. What struck me the most was that the people who did it were not strangers; they were like mothers and aunts. We saw them almost every day, smile at them, laugh with them, and made plans together. As part of the management team, we ate out and had a friendly good time. It was heartbreaking to realize that the people in the news for some criminal activity had the same profile as those that I had warm and cuddly relations with. But loyalty goes up. My love for God supersedes any other relationship. I feel sad, yes, but I have no inkling to cover for them. If anything, I am upset because I was this close to them, and yet, clueless. My colleagues and I were mixed emotions. On one hand, we felt betrayed. The suspects were like family. We confided in them and planned activities with them in all sincerity and warmth. But maybe, just maybe, they were truthful and sincere...

Bishopric and Episkopé: The Ministry of Visitation

The KJV word is bishoprick , which is now archaic in spelling. Most Bible translators didn’t use the modern spelling ‘ bishopric,’ and that, for a good reason.   #Acts1v20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: “Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it.”, and, “His bishopric, let another take.”   A quick google search shows that bishopric means: the office or rank of a bishop. ·      a district under a bishop's control; a diocese.   But looking closely at the Greek word, episkopé, reveals a deeper meaning: a visiting, an overseeing [Strong's].   Here's the kicker: bishopric k is not a desk job; it's fieldwork.   An excellent, Spirit-filled bishop or pastor performs the act of visitation. How does one effectively "oversee" a flock? By being with them, by being among them. When God calls one to be a pastor of a people, the expectation is not like that of a manager who stays in the offic...

Our FATHER Can Easily Bless Us With A Baby

  Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” So she laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?” And the LORD asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’ Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and Sarah will have a son.”   [ Genesis 18:10, 12-14 BSB]   Nothing Is Too Hard For The Lord   This is the first time that God declared the statement “Nothing is too hard for the Lord,” and it involved having a baby. The Lord repeated Himself in this same way to Mary concerning Elizabeth’s pregnancy, and it was also about having a baby. (see Luke 1:36-38) It’s amazing to know that God measured His ability in this way – in the manner of granting babies. The Lord does not treat it lightly when we laugh at what He is able to do. For God ...

Our FATHER Confirms His Baby Promise

  But Abram replied, “O Lord GOD, what can You give me, since I remain childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”   Then the word of the LORD came to Abram, saying, “This one will not be your heir, but one who comes from your own body will be your heir.” [ Genesis 15:2-4 BSB]   Right here and now, we remind ourselves again that having a baby is all dependent on God's grace and mercy. We cannot make any of this happen on our own. In this stage of Abram's life, he has no child, and no parental obligation. His nephew, Lot, had just parted ways from him. It could have been Lot as an heir apparent. But with Lot gone, Abram was then left with a non-relative, who was next in line to be an heir prospect.   Abram was willing to adopt Eliezer (or his son) and treat him as his own. Adoption, in itself, is good and godly. The whole Bible is ...

John 2

the king version And on the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; 2  and both Jesus and his disciples were called to the marriage. 3  And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus says * to Him, “They have no wine.” 4  Jesus says * to her, “Woman, what have I to do with you? My 1 hour has 2 not yet come.” 5  His mother says * to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” 6  And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures 3  apiece. 7  Jesus says * to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8  And He says * to them, “Draw some out now, and carry 4   it to the governor of the feast.” And they carried 5 it. 9  When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made into wine, and knew not from where 6 it was (but the servants who drew the...

Being On God’s Side: The Nonpartisan Obedience And Submission of The Elect

  My choice of candidate is only as good as when I vote. My vote is only as good as when it is counted. But when the tally comes, my choice is irrelevant – God  decides  who is king.   Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. (Romans 13: 1 NASB)   Our future does not depend on the person who gets elected, but on the One who sits on the Throne. If God has already decided, then why do I need to vote? This sounds like the clay who talks back to the Potter, “Why did you make me this way?” [see Romans 9:19-20] Let’s admit it: Though we vote according to our conscience, our conscience is formed by information made available to us. We can only know so much about a candidate, but God knows all things. In choosing, our sense of compatibility and personal preference are at work. We like a certain candidate because we feel that we like something about them, or w...

The Ministry

Is Received, Not Assumed. Hebrews 8:6 But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. Even our Lord Jesus received it from the Father. The Ministry is given, not taken. I will wait for my turn.
